In a method of grinding a ferrule, a ferrule is provided having a leading end portion having a surface disposed generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the ferrule. A grinding device is provided having a rotational base, an elastic member disposed on the base for rotation therewith, and a grinding sheet disposed on the elastic member for rotation therewith. The surface of the leading end portion of the ferrule is brought into contact with a grinding surface of the grinding sheet. The base of the grinding device is then rotated until the surface of the leading end portion of the ferrule is ground into a spherical surface. The spherical surface of the leading end portion of the ferrule is then brought into contact with the grinding surface of the grinding sheet so that the longitudinal axis of the ferrule is inclined relative to the grinding surface. The base of the grinding device is then rotated until the spherical surface of the leading end portion of the ferrule is ground into a spherical surface so that the longitudinal axis of the ferrule is inclined relative to a tangent passing through a vertex of the spherical surface.

An end-face polishing and cleaning apparatus comprises at least one jig plate for supporting ferrules each fixed to an end of a respective optical fiber. At least one set of a polishing machine and a cleaning machine is provided for polishing and cleaning the end-faces of the ferrules while the ferrules are supported by the jig plate. A movable mounting device supports the jig plate and moves the jig plate between the polishing machine and the cleaning machine to polish and clean the end-faces of the ferrules. The movable mounting device has a holding member for supporting the jig plate, an elevation shaft for moving the holding member in a vertical direction, and a moving device for moving the holding member in a horizontal direction.

摘要:
An optical functioning component has a tubular housing with a front end side having substantially the same shape as that of a front end of a removable plug housing of an optical connector plug. A rear end side of the tubular housing has a shape configured for connection to the optical connector plug when the plug housing is removed from the optical connector plug. A ferrule is provided on the front end side of the tubular housing and has a mechanism capable of attenuating, cutting-off, reflecting or absorbing a specific wavelength of light. An optical connection sleeve is connected to an end of the ferrule. A frame supports the ferrule and the optical connection sleeve and is mounted in the tubular housing for undergoing axial movement therein by a preselected amount.

An optical fiber connector assembly has a holding member and a housing having a cavity for receiving the holding member. The holding member has a first surface, a second surface, grooves formed in the first surface for holding respective ferrules each supporting an optical fiber element, and through-holes for respectively receiving therethrough the optical fiber elements and for communicating the grooves with the second surface. The housing has a base surface, through-holes extending through the base surface, and side surfaces defining with the base surface a cavity for receiving the holding member so that the through-holes of the holding member are communicated with the through-holes of the housing for receiving therethrough the optical fiber elements.

Provided are an optical connector plug and an optical connector, including: a shielding plate which is held in a plug frame holding hole of a plug housing in a manner that allows the shielding plate to tilt, the distal end of the shielding plate moving between a shielding position and an unshielding position; an operating plate which is held in a tiltable manner in the plug frame holding hole and adapted to tilt along with the shielding plate, the plug frame being capable of retracting, upon movement of the shielding plate to the shielding position, to a housing position at which no interference occurs with the shielding plate and the operating plate; and a biasing and holding member for biasing and positioning the shielding plate and the operating plate in a manner that brings the shielding plate to the shielding position as the plug frame moves to the housing position. When the plug frame is moved toward a front end of the plug housing, the operating plate is tilted by this movement of the plug frame, and the tilted operating plate pushes the shielding plate to the unshielding position, thus allowing the plug frame to move to an optical connection position with respect to the plug housing.
